Dental decay & tooth loss
My canine tooth has broken completely and the adjacent premolar is also grossly decayed. The dentist is suggesting implant for the broken tooth and rct for the premolar. Will just RCT remove the black decay that is visible? Also, will post and core for the canine suffice or is an implant compulsory in this case?
Also, my front two incisors were chipped in an accident three months ago. I don't feel any pain or sensitivity in them. Is there a requirement of RCT ?because the dentist only suggested filling on top.
